I didn't read the article, but B of A was fucked when they bought CW and their portfolio. CWas the largest servicer of home loans in the country, well over a trillion in loans. Thing was, they were buying loans from bad companies like Household, Ameriquest, etc. They bought every subprime loan they could so they could hopefully refi them into another 2 year ARM and just keep it rolling. Loans they did in house were solid for the most part, but I don't think they looked at what they were buying. They're fucked.
